A NATO potentate may—or may not—have said this week that President Trump is the "daddy" of the alliance, but daddy is firmly back in charge here at the 3WHH, as Steve has finally decided to rejoin the American republic after several weeks abroad, during which time John and Lucretia pretty much ran amok.
After noting that Trump is on a roll, with a sharp argument about whether Trump actually has true prudence in his grand strategy as well as tactical skill (John is skeptical), we get down to the main event: the flurry of big, last-day decisions of the Supreme Court. Beyond the case getting the most attention—limited nationwide injunctions from federal district court judges—the other cases, and this term as a whole, has a unifying theme: Parents Win! (Fitting for an episode entitled "Daddy's Home" don't you think?)
Having now completed the three most consequential years of conservatives jurisprudence in decades, we end with a brief discussion of where constitutional originalism should go from here. Stay tuned; we take note of sharp and growing divisions among conservative legal thinkers on this issue.

What does it say about me that when I read ACB's opinion, my initial reaction was not, "This is a great win for the nation" or even, "This is a great win for our side," but, "Oh man, I can't wait to hear Lucretia's take on the Kataaaaannnnji Takedown!"

Yes, perhaps next week's entire episode -- start with the "If a Martian arrived here from another planet..." (other than Mars?)

I realize that the stock market is volatile, but John was blaming the drop a couple of months ago on Trump’s tariffs. If John was reasonable (in another universe 😀) he’d accept that the decrease was normal variability not an indictment of Trump’s negotiating tactics.

Yes, I meant to bring up his whining about his IRAs from April, and taunt him mercilessly.
